Heh, list admin is best done by the list admin.  Regardless of how easy
it is, the whole point to paying someone to admin the list (among flx's
other tasks) is so that a group leader can do other things.

It's just one possible way to limit the spam.  It's also a social
decision about how you want the list to be used.  Note that almost no
spam gets through on this list that hasn't been tagged as spam, they
just need to either delete it or not munge the headers so it appears to
have come from namesys.
